BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This proposal relates to hydrodynamic and mechanical inertial disk rotordevices. It also relates to energy integrating systems with high powerratio of effective selfboosting technologies with limited losses.

The general idea and approach are similar to some closed testing windand water fluidynamic tunnels with their well-known high energy ratios,which never were used as regular sources of power.

The method and principle of this proposal are near to the patentapplication Ser. No. 11/399,661 entitled HYDRODYNAMIC CLOSED LOOPTURBOSET-SELFBOOSTER filed Apr. 7, 2006 and published Feb. 22, 2007 bythe US PTO under number 20070041830.

Said turboset, developed by present author, is based on liquid flowdriving axial bispindle wing-turbines in closed loop tubular circuit.The general idea of said turboset and present proposal isphilosophically similar to selfboosting cordial structures of humans andanimals. The said cordial systems can be considered as a prior art-ideato the present proposal, as an idea granted by our mother-nature.

In the current proposal the ring-selfboosting technology is developedwith combined usage of:

-   a) hydrodynamic power high energy ratio of cyclically propelled    operative liquid flow driving a vane-fairing disc rotor in a closed    loop tunnel, and-   b) said rotor's inertial energy, which is produced constantly    supported, and conservated in united rotating structure with newly    developed inertial time-radius connected parameters of said rotor.

Some conventional now and new solutions of similar devices liketurborotors, blade-apparates, fluid pressure combined motors arepresented in classes 29,60,415 of the USA Patent Classification. Any ofthem don't combine selfboosting hydrodynamic and inertial energy of theunited rotor in integrating manner with high power ratio.

Other prior arts directly related to my present proposal, based oncyclically selfboosting flow of operative liquid driving a vane fairingdisk rotor for obtaining integrated hydrodynamic and inertial energy inunited self-amplifying structure were not found.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The objects of this proposal development are:

-   an effective universal non-fuel power-set based on energy    integrating selfboosting technology with hydrodynamic-inertial vane    rotors, and-   ecologically clean, natural method without any pollution and other    harm effects, and possibilities of various power and design    applications.

The nature and substance of the Combined Hydrodynamic-InertialRotoset-Selfbooster is a vane-fairing disk rotor installed inside acircular closed loop tunnel filled with operative liquid driven by arotary pump and driving said rotor when smoothly passing over rotor'svanes.

Said rotor is a hydrodynamic flywheel with inertia energy been providedby newly developed method of effective rotating mass selfboosting.

Said tunnel has a module with a rotary pump, which propels saidoperative liquid inside said tunnel driving fairing vanes of said rotor.

Said pump works in series with itself propelling said liquid for itselfand for said rotor, rising the liquid pressure cyclically up to definitelevel.

Said rotor develops its total torque as a sum of a hydrodynamic andinertial portions produced by kinetic energy of high potential liquidflow and inertial selfboosting simultaneously.

The initial rotation of said rotor is provided by a starter; the rotosetincludes an electric battery with a charger.

The rotoset is driven by operative liquid selfboosting flow and byselfboosting mass-inertia momentum integrating both and providing unitedoutput power for multiple and different receivers by design.

The natural energy losses are small because of vane-fairing rotor andimproved inertia time-radius parameters in combined design. The averagetotal power ratio is about 7.5 depending on output task.

Operation

Initial technological steps:

-   the starter units 40,41,42 slowly drive the rotor 20;-   the rotary pump impeller 51 propels the operative liquid 57 up to    definite liquid velocity and dynamic pressure level, accelerating    said rotor 20 up to designed angular velocity; starter units stop.-   the rotor 20 develops integrating momentum from hydrodynamic forces    of said vanes 21, and/or 22,23,24, and inertial force effects of all    rotating masses simultaneously.

Any kind of said vanes, getting dynamic pressure of liquid flow 57,simultaneously let a part of said flow 57 pass over and by said vanesinto the gaps g and g thus providing the flow 57 kinetic energy risingfor high hydrodynamic energy ratio.

The total united torque T of the rotor's 20 shaft 28 consists ofhydrodynamic portion T and inertial portion T Said torque T istransmitted to electric generator 45 by clutch 43, drive 44 forobtaining output voltage V, charging battery 70 by elements 72,71, andfeeding electric motors 52,61. A transformer 73 provides differentoutput voltage V

The springed piston valve 39 provides needed liquid flow static pressurein order to limit and/or prevent the possible vortices, cavitation, andfluctuations inside said tunnel 30 and module 50.

The static and dynamic packings 34,35, and packing insert 38 provideneeded hydraulic conditions; the meters 37,54 provide data for thecontrol panel 74.

In addition and/or equally instead of said generator 45, other receiversof rotor's 20 torque can be used including mechanical, hydraulic, and/orcombined.

The interactions of said Rotoset-Selfbooster are based on combinedintegrating work of two united structures:

-   a) the rotary pump impeller 51, which operates in actual series with    itself, propelling the liquid 57 cyclically at itself, for itself,    and drives said rotor 20 rising the liquid dynamic pressure inside    tunnel 30 up to definite level;-   b) rotor's 20 inertial momentum with newly developed time-radius    interdependence generates and supports the inertial portion of    common torque for integrated high power ratio.

Said above newly developed inertial rotor parameters are expressed byequation: R=F·P, where: R—is rotor's radius, P—is rotor's period ofrotation, F—is a function of rotor mass and dimensions proportions.

The total integrated combined rotor's torque T is a sum;

T= T+ T, where

-   Hydrodynamic torque portion T=P·S Z R, where P is the liquid    integrated dynamic pressure, S, Z, R, are the vanes cross area,    number, mean radius, and hydrodynamic efficiency respectively;-   Inertial torque portion T=M R W, where M, W, are rotor's mass,    angular velocity, and inertial efficiency respectively.

The total power ratio of the Combined Hydrodynamic-InertialRotoset-Selfbooster as a non-fuel source of energy is about 7.5,depending on design and KW required.
